1. The Flow Dimension Solutions

Everything is a flow-system - and so benefits from the application of counter-intuitive flow-rate, flow-time, flow-quality, flow-cost and flow-state patterns.

1. The Flow Dimension Solutions

1. Flow-RATE Acceleration : Maximise flow-rate through the bottleneck.
2. Flow-TIME Reduction: Target the greatest end-to-end flow-time contributors.
3. Flow-QUALITY Optimisation: Identify and resolve the core contributors to quality failures.
4. Flow-COST Containment: Target the biggest end-to-end cost-contributors.
5. Flow-STATE Enablement: Defrag your brain and deliberately engineer the optimal mental state.

2. The Ingenuity Dimension Solutions

Every challenging situation requires extraordinary ingenuity - because we don't know what we don't know. This is a non-trivial problem to solve!

2. The Ingenuity Dimension Solutions

1. Provisionals: Generate a series of rough, provisional solutions.
2. AGI: Generate and integrate alternatives to the current provisional solution.
3. GPS: Establish the single Goal, Problem and Solution for all stakeholders in all time periods.
4. Pattern Thinking: Instead of compromising or choosing between inadequate solutions, find the repeating pattern across them.
5. RET: Reverse-Engineer solutions from the benefts sought to the solution features required.

3. The Change Dimension Solutions

Having a perfect solution is of only academic value without the ability to make the change from the old way of doing things to the new way - conventional approaches leave a lot to be desired.

3. The Change Dimension Solutions

Create a Pull-System for Change:

1. Engagement & Response Frameworks, to help people respond constructively & collaboratively.
2. Staged Evolution: Advance in short, achievable stages to reduce friction and overwhelm.
3. CommonStreaming: Capitalise on existing enthusiasm and passion by starting there.
4. Restricted Access: Limit access to ideal candidates.
5. Early Intervention: Identify the earliest indications that the new way will be required.

4. The Mastery Dimension Solutions

Mastery is about becoming - individually and collectively - so good at challenging things that we can do them quickly and automatically.

4. The Mastery Dimension Solutions

The Mastery Definition: early diagnosis and intervention.

1. Templates give novices structure and experts freedom to diagnose and intervene early.
2. Decision-Trees corporatise complex diagnostic and decision-making capability.
3. MODIFs: Multi-Option Diagnostic & Intervention Frameworks impart virtual mastery to novices and reduced overhead for experts.
4. Deep Practice): Practice extremely slowly and repeatedly at the limit of capability first.

5. The Synergy Dimension Solutions

Deliberately forging synergy from dysergy (lack of synergy) and antergy (anti-synergy) offers huge opportunities, because we are so inept at it.

5. The Synergy Dimension Solutions

1. The Golden Assumption: Assume good intent - you'll be correct 99.999% of the time.
2. Xplor: Use a multi-option+add-your-own framework to secure alignment.
3. WWMMDT - 'wimditty': Ask What Would Make Me Do That to understand their perspective.
4. Deliberate Trust & Respect:Provide a succession of trust-rewarding experiences.
5. Deliberate Synergy: Use synergy inhibitors as synergy levers.

6. The Understanding Dimension Solutions

Hold as many true and as few false (dramatic improvement) beliefs as possible.

6. The Understanding Dimension Solutions

The Understanding Dimension enables us to troubleshoot all dimensions - including itself.

1. The Alladin/RUB Method: Check and correct misalignment of our beliefs with reality.
2. Understanding Audit: Classify beliefs to determine their validity.
3. Understanding Upgrade: Use validation and invalidation testing to improve understanding.
4. Disseminating Understanding: Exploratory discussions to check for common brain blips.
